I thought Iron Duke Miniatures had them (through Empress) but the pics won't work for me.

I rather imagined you were...but I like to keep plugging the bigger scale. Just looking at doing some for a BoB campaign we have going - thought a camel train would add to the problems nicely. Reading about them in campaigns in the 1920s and 30s, there were hundreds of them need to support any kind of column.

Don't have that issue to check the pics, but could it be these:

If so, they are scratch built:

Yes, I was thinking of the same. They are brilliant conversions made by our friend Over Open Sights (Mark Hargreaves).

Guilty as charged. I did these for my chum Adrian Shepherd. They are converted from Perry Camel Corps camels. The cacolets are scratched up from thick card, styrene sheet, brass wire, greenstuff and bad language. More here: https://over-open-sights.blogspot.com/search/label/WW1%20Camel%20Ambulance%20Project

Foundry has some in their Mutiny range and I'm sure Perry have some in their Napoleon in Egypt range too.
